Those in need of the services of a professional cleaner will want to choose a company that offers the latest in state of the art technology. It should be one that uses high-tech mounted and portable water extraction units to ensure the quickest and most thorough extraction possible. If the flood situation in your home is exceptionally deep, they use gas-powered, submersible pumps that allow for continuous pumping. Their moisture detection equipment is able to measure the amount of moisture that remains after pumping and draining, ensuring the area is cleared of moisture and humidity. This is imperative in ensuring future mold problems will not arise as the result of a flood. Once standing water is removed, their technology goes to work drying the affected area. Their high-powered carpet dryer and blower has the ability to dry carpets at four times the rate of a regular dyer. It moves the air under and over the carpet, ensuring fast drying throughout the exposed and isolated fibers of the carpet. The dehumidifiers remove the moisture from walls and floors, and reduce the overall humidity in the air, allowing the affected areas to dry faster. Companies also use the Air Scrubber, a machine that cleans the air of dust, mold, and sewage particles that are often present following a flood. The machine uses a continuous filtering system to clean the air and prevent bacterial growth. Finally, they can ensure effective results with a moisture sensor that determines how much water has accumulated in carpets, ceilings, floors, and walls. The work is not over once the water and moisture are gone. A quality restoration team understands they must use germicides, fungicides, and antimicrobial treatments to ensure your home returns to its previously healthy state. Carpets, upholstery, and all items that came in contact with floodwater must be disinfected. The products used deter the growth of mildew, bacteria, and fungi. They also use the most potent methods of removing foul odors that are caused by the bacteria that may flourish in moist areas. Once the immediate danger of the crisis has passed, emergency companies use the expertise of scientific professionals like environmental hygienists to ensure the affected area is safe. (Contaminant) sampling must be done real-time, which culture testing does not provide. When the company declares the job complete, you will be sure your home is safe and clean. Flood damage is not the only crisis an emergency company deals with. In the case of fire damage, they will assist with upholstery cleaning, furniture repair, deodorization, drapery cleaning, and HVAC and duct cleaning. Smoke will be one of your major challenges following a fire. Clothing will need to be cleaned and deodorized, and electronics and computers will need cleaning. They are able to refer you to experienced professionals who will ensure your belongings are restored to their previous condition. These firms understand that emergencies do not only occur Monday through Friday during business hours rather 24 hours a day. They specialize in fire and water damage, but also offer a wide range of services during everyday life or following a crisis. Their menu of carpet services includes bonnet cleaning, steam cleaning, shampooing, and showcase cleaning. They also have the ability and experience to clean area and Oriental rugs. Those working to keep their homes in order during non-crisis times will be pleased with the variety of services some emergency companies offer. Their upholstery cleaning services include dry cleaning, dry-wet cleaning, steam cleaning, and showcase cleaning. They also work on draperies and will clean them on or off-site, taking down and rehanging the draperies, and cleaning the swags and valences. This ensures your window coverings will be free of dust, dirt, and allergens.
